In 1923, Franz Völkl began producing skis in his carriage factory and Völkl Skis have been recognized for their unparalleled innovation and performance ever since. Over the years, Völkl has introduced a number of innovations, including the first full fiberglass ski in 1970, the Motion System binding, and the first true women-specifc ski construction. Today, a new factory in Straubing continues that tradition of innovation with some of the most progressive freeskiing models available.
